I am one who cannot toss a scrap! So, I will be having so much fun trying all these techniques! Thank you so much, Lorraine, for another wonderful video!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thanks Carlos! We can get so many cards this way, right?

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Me too! I'm overwhelmed with my scraps at the moment so I'm really pleased to have come across this video.

[@Aeronwen813]

You make some really beautiful cards and explain clearly how to do them, Lorraine. Thank you. These are such cheerful designs and I'll definitely be trying them out.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you for your kind compliment, Margaret! Let me know how it goes for you.

[@karensexton3979]

[@carloshaun7297]

Lorraine, I cannot toss a scrap, so will be having Soooo much fun with your ideas! Classy scrap cards! Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@deballen7031]

Hi. My thoughts exactly!

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

I love using my scraps, but your right It's Thank you. good to separate the scraps by color. It makes it so much easier to find.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

I think so - at least it's what works for me! Using all the scraps is like a challenge for me - I love it! Thanks for watching.

[@dawnyoung9231]

They are beautiful and really enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you. I have tons of scraps, perhaps I’ll have a “Scraps Day.”

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you, Dawn! Yes, we all need to do "Scraps Day!" I sometimes do them on Zoom meetings with my stampers!

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Good idea but I think I'll need a scraps week to get my collection under control! 😂

[@joannedonovan9489]

Pretty cards with the scraps! Thanks for the video!!

Thank you, Joanne! I'm glad you like them. 😊

[@tonichowdhury-successcoach]

Such great ideas, Lorraine. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Since I’m a complete newbie, I keep cutting the wrong size of paper and end up with so many scraps. I can now use them well. 😅

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Lorraine these cards are so simple and yet so beautiful! I always have trouble with cards for men and several of these are perfect! Thank you!

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Thank you, Debbie! I thought the same thing about masculine cards. I am particularly fond of the ones here, and you are correct....so easy...just look through your scraps and don't think too hard on it! Have fun, and thanks for your comment.

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Yes, I think coming up with ideas for masculine cards is particularly tricky. It's so hard for me to hold off on the bling!

I like your method. I do the same, and put those plastic envelope of strips in the folder with the actual color as I am limited on space.

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Nice! I just think it makes sense. Why go to two different places to see if you have the right size scrap? Happy stamping!

I like to emboss mine with different patterns, maybe all the same color being one pattern, another color in its own pattern, etc., then glue them down. If you lay the strips diagonally on the folder, you can emboss longer strips. Or, emboss the whole panel when finished. I Iove using my die cut words.and alphabets. If I don't have the whole word, I can always spell it out. I also like to inlay them in the little banner. Some words are tiny, so good for putting on embellishements, then onto a card, giftbag, etc

What type of glue do you use?

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

I use Tombo Multi-Purpose Glue. If adhered to something when it's wet, it is permanent. If it is allowed to dry a bit before adhering to something, it is a temporary glue, which is great for trying positions of your cardstock and layouts before permanently gluing them down. It also has two tips... a fine tip and a spreading tip.

[@ShirleyOsenbach-ud2ge]

I too can not throw scraps....

[@stampwithlorraine5074]

Funny! Hope this inspires you how to use them!
